I have been having trouble with my computer for the last few months...I don't wanna get a new one, but I feel like there are WAYYYYY too many things going wrong...I just downloaded Hijack This and I'm hoping one of you fellahs could give me an idea of what to delete and how to go about doing it. I used to think I was pretty good at computer, but I'm thinking I'm semi handicapped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I got Adware, Norton Anti-Virus, AVG- etc...I'm getting no where...I think whoever looks at my computer will see all sorts of problems. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you SO much.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:1) Restart your computer2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Hi Losguapos6,

Please unzip Hijack This and copy into a new folder - C:\HJT. This will enable HJT to create backups to be used if required. Backups cannot be created while it is being run from a zip file or a temp folder !!!!!!

Please print out these instructions or copy them into a text file on your Desktop for easy access.

During the fix, u will be asked to fix some entries, delete some files or uninstall sosme programs. If in case, you do not see those entries / files / programs, please make a note of it. Continue with the fix and in your next post please inform me of all deviations from the fix prescribed.

Run CleanUp and delete all temp files including temporary internet files.

Clear out the files in the Prefetch folder. Go to start> run> type into the box Prefetch and delete all the files in that folder. Dont delete the folder, only the files in it !!!!!!!!

Reboot the PC in Normal Mode.

Please download FindQoologic from here:Find_QoologicExtract the files from it, save them on the desktop and run Find-Qoologic2.bat. This will generate a log file; please post the entire contents of the log file here for me to see.
